Chapter 239: The undercurrent is turbulent, and the mountain rain is coming

For what Gu Ming entrusted, Bai Suzhen naturally would not refuse.

To put it bluntly, in this new world, Gu Ming is the closest and most trustworthy person to her.

Don't talk about such a trivial matter, even if it is much more difficult than this, she will not hesitate to accept it.

"Su Zhen also wants to ask her son for one thing......"

"Oh? You said, "If I can do it, I will do it." ”

"If Childe has news of Xiaoqing, please find a way to find her and let her go to Guobei County to find me."

Gu Ming nodded: "White girl, don't worry about this, as long as there is news from Xiaoqing, I will definitely have a way to find her." ”

As soon as she heard this, Bai Suzhen gave a blessing: "Then thank you son." ”

Gu Ming smiled and raised his hand: "The white girl doesn't have to be polite......"

Then he took out a handwritten letter and a hand-drawn simple map and handed it to Bai Suzhen: "You will give this letter to Xiaoqian when you arrive, this is a topographic map, and I have already marked the route." ”

"Well, I'll be on my way in a moment."

Bai Suzhen took the letter and answered.

"Okay, hard work white girl!"

"Childe is polite!"

"Tut-tut, look at you two polite...... It's so fake! ”

Bao Qing puffed smoke rings with a disdainful face.

Gu Ming lazily reasoned with it, turned his head sideways and said, "Baoqing ......"

"Cut, call someone Baoqing, a girl over there called Huan."

Gu Ming: "......"

Why did you change the world, and the fox spirit's brain was watts?

"Okay, Miss Baoqing, I want to ask you for one thing this time."

"Hehe, for the sake of this girl, what do you want this girl to do for you?"

Bao Qing smiled suddenly, puffing smoke rings beautifully, looking very bold, it seems that she enjoys the title of girl very much.

Ru Liang, who is more than 1,000 years old......

"It's such a Baoqing girl, I want to ask you to go to the capital to harass that old demon of Pudu Cihang, in short, you can't let that old demon be too leisurely, you have to find something for him to do......"

Before he finished speaking, Bao Qing waved his hand again and again: "No, no, you know, fighting is not this girl's specialty, this girl's specialty is refining magic weapons." ”

Gu Ming smiled and said, "Miss Baoqing, don't be modest, others don't understand you, I don't understand yet?"

At the same time, you have to understand one thing, once the old demon's conspiracy succeeds, the world will be chaotic, and you will not have a good life at that time.

Besides, I didn't let you fight hard. That old demon will never easily reveal his true body in the capital.

So, even if the two of you really fight, you won't suffer, it's a big deal to leave. ”

"This ......"

Bao Qing's big eyes were rolling, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the use of letting this girl harass that old demon?" Or what do you want to achieve? ”

"It's very simple, false and real, true and false, so that it is unpredictable to understand where you came from and what you are for. In this way, he will inevitably be distracted and will try to find out where you came from......"

"Cut, in that case, wouldn't he be eyeing Baoqingfang? That's not a good thing. ”

"Don't worry, Miss Baoqing, with that old demon's personality, she won't easily turn her face with you. After all, he is ambitious, so there is a good chance that he will choose to woo you.

After all, he doesn't want to make a strong enemy, right?

And your Baoqingfang...... You know in your own heart, even if that old demon breaks in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break in. ”

"Hehe, this is also, this Baoqingfang is the proud work of this girl, how can it be so easy to be broken into."

Bao Qing looked a little proud.

"Isn't that all there is to it?"

Gu Ming smiled and continued: "In addition, you are not the only one who wants to harass that old demon, I also entrusted others. Anyway, when the time comes, I promise to make the old demon anxious, and I should take care of it......"

Hearing this, Bao Qing squinted his eyes and asked, "It seems that you are quite confident, so why don't you just lure out that old demon and kill him directly?" ”

"It's not as simple as you say, this old demon has already spread a big net, if you really want to forcibly destroy him, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, and it is really the next strategy."

"Okay, then you do what you want......"

Soon after, Gu Ming and Bai Suzhen left Baoqingfang together.

After saying goodbye, the two went their separate ways, Bai Suzhen went all the way to Guobei County as planned, and Gu Ming returned to the capital as soon as possible.

……

Capital.

It seems calm, singing and dancing.

In fact, there is already an undercurrent surging, and the mountain rain is coming.

In the afternoon, Gu Ming returned to the official residence.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and served Gu Ming to take off his official robe and change into regular clothes.

"Childe, you have a cup of tea first, Xiaoling is cooking in the kitchen, it should be almost ready."

"Hmm!"

Gu Ming responded, and then sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea while thinking about the future plan.

He has already sent a message to Fahai in a special way.

At that time, Fahai will also come to the capital to assist in secret...... In short, it is to create some troubles and suspicions for Pudu Cihang, and to disturb and distract his mind.

In this way, the progress of its conspiracy will inevitably be greatly slowed down.

Of course, this is only one step in Gu Ming's plan, and there is one more important thing that must be carried out simultaneously: find out the details of Prince Qing and Ni Chenggui, and check whether the two are really secretly connected.

This is not a trivial matter, and it must be backed by solid evidence.

Gu Ming once thought of going to King Qing in person and using the exit to induce him to tell the truth.

But this is also very risky, and if you don't do it, you will force the other party to start troops in advance, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

If you want to be safe, the best way is to control Ni Chenggui first, after all, this guy has the power of the army.

As long as Ni Chenggui is controlled, King Qing will be as fearful as a caged bird.

However, this can only be an idea, after all, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Ni Chenggui has the intention of rebellion.

In case it is an oolong, but forces the other party to raise troops, the consequences will be quite serious.

After thinking about it, Gu Ming suddenly thought of someone: Luo Yan's grandfather, Yasukuni Gong Luo Xiao.

Why don't you go talk to him?

If there is anyone who knows the most about the generals in the army, I am afraid it is none other than the Yasukuni Gong.

"Childe, the dish is ready......"

When Gu Ming was thinking, Xiao Ling walked over with small steps, lowered her head and whispered.

"Well, got it......"

Gu Ming responded, and subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ling, but found that there was something wrong with this girl's demeanor.

"Xiaoling, raise your head."

"Ah......h

Xiao Ling was stunned, but she didn't dare to disobey the order, so she had to raise her head slowly.

However, he subconsciously tilted his head to the side.

How could her small actions be hidden from Gu Ming, she had already faintly seen a hint of clues.

"Stand up, tilt your head over."

"Yes, Childe."

Xiao Ling bit her lip and answered softly.

At this time, Gu Ming finally saw clearly, this girl's eyes were a little red and swollen, and the left side of her face was also a little red and swollen, and she knew that she had been slapped at a glance, and there was more than one slap.

"Who hit it?"

Gu Ming immediately lowered his face and asked in a deep voice.

Although Xiaoyuan and Xiaoling are not the maids he found, they are also working in his official residence anyway, and they are bullied outside, so he can't turn a blind eye.

Xiao Ling hurriedly waved her hand: "No...... Nobody, yes...... It was the slave who accidentally bumped into the door frame......"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but be happy.

"Do you still have finger prints on your face on the door frame?"

"Huh? This ......"

Xiao Ling subconsciously touched her face: "Maybe...... It may have been caught by the slave herself......"

"Madoka!"

Gu Ming turned his head sideways and shouted at Xiao Yuan, who was standing outside the hall and watching.

"Childe ......"

Madoka hurriedly walked over.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"No ......"

"If you dare to lie again, you two won't do anything here!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ling's faces suddenly changed in shock, and they both knelt down and sobbed: "Ask for mercy from my son!" ”

"Then tell the truth!"

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but look sideways at Xiao Ling, gritted her teeth and told the truth: "Back to the son, Xiao Ling is ...... She was beaten by the head of the guard. ”

"Wei Feng?"

Gu Ming frowned, and a face full of acne appeared in his mind.

When he first moved into the mansion, it was Wei Feng who was in charge of leading.

This person is not an official of the imperial court, but a small official, and his main responsibility is to take care of the miscellaneous affairs of dozens of official residences in this area, such as the daily maintenance of the official residence, the recruitment and management of subordinates, and so on.

seems to be a small official, but the power and oil and water are still quite big.

After Xiaoyuan's narration, Gu Mingfang knew what happened.

The wages of the two of them are drawn by the imperial court at one or two taels of silver per month, which is relatively high in comparison, and the maids of those big families are generally a few dollars of silver.

It's just that it was one or two dollars, and when it was sent to them, it was only nine dollars.

In other words, three dollars were deducted.

It's not just the two of them, all the subordinates here are like this, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Even if they only get nine coins of silver, it is higher than the salary of working outside, so Xiaoyuan and Xiaoling are still very satisfied.

A few days ago, Xiaoling met Wei Feng when she went out to buy vegetables.

That guy poured some cat urine, a little drunk, and even used the strength of the wine to do something to Xiaoling......

Xiao Ling was ashamed, anxious and frightened, and couldn't help but push it violently...... As a result, Wei Feng fell to the ground without standing firmly, and his skin was broken in two places.

Just because of this, this guy hated Xiao Ling.

In the morning, Xiao Ling and Xiao Yuan went to collect the wages together, but the wages sent to Xiao Ling turned out to be only three yuan.

The payer said that this was the order of the chief guard.

Xiao Ling was angry and ran to Wei Feng Theory, but she didn't get her salary back, but was slapped a few times by Wei Fan......

After hearing the reason, Gu Ming immediately got up: "Xiaoling, Xiaoyuan, come with me to find Wei Feng." ”

Xiao Ling hurriedly begged: "Don't, Childe, please, don't go...... The slave is fine, really fine. ”

"Are you afraid that guy will retaliate against you?"

Gu Ming asked coldly.

At this time, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but snort: "Childe, Mr. Wei...... The head of the guard is...... It's a distant relative of Fei Shangshu......"

"Oh? What is the cost of the official department? ”

"Yes, yes......" Madoka replied timidly.

"I see, it's no wonder that a small official is so bold and reckless, and he has a backer for daring to be affectionate."

Gu Ming said mockingly.

Well, there is no breakthrough.

According to Gu Ming's knowledge, this fee is quite close to Pudu Cihang, and he often goes to Tianzhao Temple.

In that case, why not make a big deal out of it?

"Let's go!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Gu Ming's tone before, Xiaoyuan's second daughter thought that Gu Ming had given up.

After all, the dignified officials are not anyone's fault.

"Childe, forget about this little thing, the slave and maid can't implicate Childe......"

"How can this be called a trifle? A small miscellaneous manager dares to beat the official, this is clearly not giving the official face!

Okay, you two don't say more, hurry up with the official to find that Wei Feng to seek justice. ”

At this point, the second daughter didn't dare to say more, so she could only follow Gu Ming to the hospital with anxiety......
